Description of Sample XML Schema
Suppose you want to define an XML Schema that defines
book,
magazine, and
newsletter elements. The type of each of these elements is
PublicationType. The XML Schema defines the
PublicationType complexType. An element that is a
PublicationType has the following description:
- The
genre attribute specifies the style of the publication. That is, whether it is a book, magazine, or newsletter.
- There is always exactly one
title element.
- The
subtitle element is optional.
- There must be at least one
author element and there can be more. Each
author element contains one
first-name element and one
last-name element.
- Of the following three elements, exactly one must always be present:
-
ISBNnumber
-
PUBnumber
-
LOCnumber
- The elements must be in the order specified in this list.
The following topics in this section describe how to define this XML Schema using the
Diagram tab of the XML Schema Editor.
